On February 8 2004, the 120 National Guardsmen from Company A, based in Tallahassee, returned home after 14 months of active duty fighting the war on terrorism.

	A team of the Capital Area Chapter's Disaster Services Volunteers were at the National Guard Armory on February 8 2004 to provide Mass Care (feeding) support to the families of the returning National Guardsmen.
	A CANTEEN area is set up for the families and returning guardsmen.
	Everything is almost ready to go.
	Family members and friends gather to wait for the busses that will deliver the returning guardsman.
	ALMOST HERE! The crowd waves American flags as the busses pull into the National Guard Armory's parking lot.
	Guardsmen must first off load their gear from the busses.
	Then the reunification begins!
	Sorting out gear.
	READ, WHITE and BLUE cup cakes are ready for each returning guardsman.
	Lots of food for everyone.
	Balloons and American flags were everywhere.
	WELCOME HOME!
	A short welcome home ceremony in which guardsmen were presented with their medals.
	Medals are pined on guardsmen by family members.
	A proud guardsman and his parents!
	Home at last.
	On of the guardsman give Disaster Services Volunteer, Zilpah Boyd, a hug and thanks her for all of her efforts to make his homecoming a welcomed one.
	Company A musters for the final time.
	DISMISSED!
